The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the recorders sound. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow stimulates the air in the body of the instrument. And this is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the response and sound of the instrument.

The windway of the instrument MRA-1B-T-KUL of Kulossa has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is exceedingly complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
